For the first 5 months of 1985, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.9 percent, about the same rate as experienced since the fall of 1981. The transportation component declined 0.2 percent in May, following large increases in each of the preceding 2 months. Gasoline prices continued to increase—up 0.5 percent—but by substantially less than in March and April. During the past 3 months, gasoline prices have increased 7.4 percent. Despite this recent advance, gasoline prices are 11.2 percent below their peak level registered in March 1981. Automobile prices, which turned down in April, dropped further in May. New and used car prices declined 0.2 and 1.4 percent, respectively. Automobile finance charges—down 1.4 percent —declined for the sixth consecutive month. On the other hand, the index for automobile insurance rose 0.7 percent in May and was 9.4 percent above its level a year ago. The index for public transportation increased 0.1 percent in May. The food and beverage component decreased 0.1 percent in May. Grocery store food prices—down 0.4 percent—declined for the third consecutive month. Declines in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and fruits and vegetables were only partially offset by small increases in most other grocery store food groups. Beef prices continued to decline—down 2.6 percent in May—and were 5.9 percent below their level at the end The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) increased 0.4 percent before seasonal adjustment in May to a level of 321.3 (1967=100). For the 12-month period ended in May, the CPI-U increased 3.7 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) rose 0.3 percent in May, prior to seasonal adjustment. The May 1985 CPI-W level of 317.8 was 4.1 percent higher than the index in May 1984. The CPI-W is used for indexing Social Security and some other Federal payments. It is also commonly used as an escalator in collective bargaining agreements. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.2 percent in May, following increases of 0.5 and 0.4 in March and April, respectively. The transportation, food and beverage, and apparel and upkeep components all registered declines in May. The sharp turnaround in the transportation component, as a result of smaller increases in gasoline prices and declines in new and used car prices, was largely responsible for the moderation in the overall May index. On the other hand, the housing component, reflecting a more rapid increase in shelter costs, advanced more than in recent months. All other major groups—medical care, entertainment, and other goods and services—rose the same Table A.

Poultry and egg prices also declined, while pork prices were unchanged. The index for fresh fruits and vegetables declined for the third consecutive month. These declines have nearly offset the sharp price increases in fresh fruits and vegetables recorded earlier this year. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—both rose 0.5 percent in May, their largest increases this year. The housing component advanced 0.6 percent in May, following a 0.4-percent rise in April. Shelter costs increased 1.0 percent and accounted for over 90 percent of the May housing advance. Within the shelter component, renters' and homeowners' costs both increased 1.0 percent while maintenance and repair costs declined 0.5 percent. The index for fuel and utilities increased 0.2 percent in May. Fuel oil prices declined 0.5 percent, after advancing 3.3 percent in April. Charges for gas and electricity rose 0.5 and 0.1 percent, respectively. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.1 percent, the same as in each of the preceding 2 months. The medical care component increased 0.6 percent in May, the same as in April. The index for medical care commodities—prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.2 percent. The cost of medical care services advanced 0.7 percent with professional services and hospital rooms up 0.5 and 0.9 percent, respectively. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.1 percent in May, after registering no change in April. A 0.2-percent decline in clothing prices was only partially offset by a 0.3-percent increase in the cost of apparel services. The indexes for entertainment and other goods and services rose 0.3 and 0.4 percent, respectively, in May, the same as in April. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.2 percent in February Compound annual rate 3 months ended May 1985 May, the same increase as in the CPI-U. (The rental equivalence approach to homeownership has been used in the CPI-W since January 1985. The methodology and samples of areas, items, outlets, and prices are identical in both the CPI-W and the CPI-U, and differences in monthly changes result only from different expenditure patterns and seasonal adjustment factors.) Changes in frequency of publication for local area CPI's to begin in 1987 The Bureau of Labor Statistics will improve the sample of urban areas in which it gathers prices for monthly preparation of the Consumer Price Index beginning in 1987. At the same time, the Bureau will publish a number of local area CPI'S less frequently. The changes in publication frequency arise from the requirement to allocate the sample to reflect population shifts in the 1980 Census so as to provide the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. As a result, some local areas will no longer have samples sufficient to permit more frequent publication. In addition to the national index for all cities, the Bureau now publishes indexes for 28 urban areas. In 1987, it will continue to publish indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Of the remaining 27 published urban areas, 13 will have a reduction in frequency beginning in 1987. The index for Detroit, currently published monthly, will be published only in the even-numbered months. Twelve areas now published bimonthly will be compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are: BuffaloNiagara Falls, NY; Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN; Kansas City, MO-Kansas City, KS; Milwaukee, WI; Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN-WI; Atlanta, GA; Anchorage, AK; Denver-Boulder, CO; Honolulu, HI; Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA; San Diego, CA; and Seattle-Tacoma, WA. These semiannual average indexes, which refer to the arithmetic averages of the 6 month periods from January through June and July through December, will be published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e., in the months of August and February. These series will be compiled and published on their present reference base 1967=100, for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967 reference base. Also, the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, OH, indexes will be published in odd-numbered rather then even-numbered months. Further details are available from BLS. Homeownership changes As announced in October 1981, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has changed the treatment of homeownership costs in the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) effective with release of data for January 1985. See the last page of the Technical Notes for additional detail.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. Table 14.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in escalator clauses. 63 Table 19.

L.A.-Long Beach, Anaheim, Calif, is a combination of two SMSA's, and N.Y., N.Y.-Northeastem N.J. and Chicago, III.Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive Standard Consolidated Areas. Area definitions are those established by the Office of Management and Budget in 1973, except for Denver-Boulder, Colo, which does not include Douglas County. Definitions do not include revisions made since 1973. 3 Regions are defined as the four Census regions. The population size classes are aggregations of areas which have urban population as defined: 87 4.2 3.5 4.2 3.3 3.4 4.9 4.7 4.1 4.7 3.9 3.7 4.6 4.6 4.0 2.0 4.8 0.4 1.8 1.2 .7 1.7 3.1 1.0 .7 .2 2.4 .1 .9 1.4 1.9 -.6 .4 A-1 More than 4,000,000.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are by-products of the national CPI program. Because each local index is a small subset of the national index, it has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national index. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are quite similar.

The index measures price changes from a designated reference date—1967—which equals 100.0. An increase of 122 percent, for example, is shown as 222.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base period4'market basket" of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $22.20. For further details see the following: The Consumer Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years, Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 1978); "The Revision of the Consumer Price Index," by W. John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), "Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index," by Daniel H. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978; and CPI Issues, Report 593, (Bureau of Labor Statistics, February 1980). The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average chanee in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. Effective with the January 1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing CPl's for two population groups: (1) a new CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents about half the population covered by the CPIu. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups which historically have been excluded from CPI coverage, such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from about 18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes, and about 24,000 establishments—grocery and department stores, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits of the Bureau's trained representatives. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices, and certain other items. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 28 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities, they only measure the Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced plans to change the treatment of homeownership costs on October 27, 1981. Effective with release of the index for January 1983, the BLS had made the same changes in the way in which homeownership costs were measured in the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The rental equivalence approach calculates shelter cost of homeownership based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes they own. The old method calculated homeownership costs as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair. As with the CPI-U, the new homeownership component has been introduced into the CPI-W in such a manner that the indexes using the old and new methods were equal in the socalled link month—December 1984 for the CPI-W. BLS will continue to calculate and make available the CPI-W using the old homeownership approach for the 6-month period from January to June 1985. For more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for January 1983, pp. 7-13. Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics 101 publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-11-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1980 through 1984 were replaced at the end of 1984. The seasonal movement of all items and 44 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 51 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 51 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adlast 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. If any of the 51 components change their status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted data will be used for the last 5 years, but not seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period.
